For generations, devotion to the Arabian horse has been a unifying force on a global level, a common ground upon which friendships and partnerships have ourished. As the Arabian Horse World Championship title show shifts to Doha, Qatar, from its traditional setting in Paris, all of us at AHT Abroad prepare to join with our friends from around the world in celebrating the Arabian horse on its biggest stage. is issue features a cover story about Albidayer Stud’s magniicent World Champion stallion, Marajj, who has recently retired from public life. As a show horse and a sire of great champions, the positive impact of Marajj on the breed is immeasurable. Also, in her popular historical feature, Susanne Bösche showcases Count Jozef Potocki, the great Polish breeder responsible for the foundation stallion Skowronek and so many other notable bloodlines. You will also see full coverage of two of the year’s most important title shows, the All-Nations Cup and the European Championships, as well as a review of this year’s U.S. National Halter Champions, while Scott Benjamin puts forth a thoughtful study that reassesses the Arabian Scorecard and its impact.
